> I agree that you should speak to your doctor, but in my case, I also felt terrible on nardil for the first 6 weeks, very suicidal etc.... and then suddenly I began to feel better, and it took maybe one week or two, for the mood to change completely. This happened quite often, because I had the tendency to try to reduce the dose from 45mg which was my prescribed maintenance dose,to 30 mg once I was ok, but found that I then had to up the dose again, and go through that hell every time. Im no longer on nardil now, because it stopped working for me after about 22 years. I found it a tricky drug for all those reasons, but when it worked, it really worked well.
Hmm...Rose, that's extremely interesting. It's what I was thinking as well. Thankyou so much for sharing that with me.
I find it interesting though why you said reducing the dose would make you feel suicidal etc., I thought this only occurred at the start of medications where the brain is flooded with neurotransmitters and it takes the brain time to adapt?
